Timeline
Phil Moriarty (April 12, 1914 – August 18, 2012) was a swimming and diving coach from the United States.
Moriarty was born in New Haven, Connecticut on April 12, 1914, graduating from High School in 1932.
Though he did not graduate college, he soon obtained a job teaching swimming to Yale College students around his age.
He notably coached at Yale University for 37 years, from 1939-1976.
While at Yale, Moriarty served as an assistant coach to Robert Kiphuth, beginning in 1939, up-to Kiphuth's retirement in 1959, at which point Moriarty replaced Kiphuth as Yale's head coach, serving for seventeen years until 1976.
Bob Kiphuth had been a legendary Yale Coach, serving 40 years, and achieving a record of 528-13.
He had emphasized technique, muscle building and dry-land training and had produced a wealth of Olympic champions.
He was a difficult act to follow, but Moriarty became a fitting replacement.
Moriarty won 11 Eastern Intercollegiate Swim League Championships and 9 Eastern Seaboard Titles.
In his career at Yale, he amassed an overall record as Head Coach of 195-25.
He faced challenges recruiting, since as a Division III school, Yale could not offer swimming scholarships to prospective students which gave an advantage to many competing teams.
He served as chairman of the NCAA Rules Committee for both Diving (1953-57) and Swimming (1959-62).
After retiring as a coach, he wrote instructional books and made films for swimmers and divers.
He also served as a diving coach for the U.S. team at the 1960 Rome Summer Olympics.
They led the U.S. diving team in the 1960 Rome Olympics that won two gold and four silver medals.
In 1960, he published his book Springboard Diving, and in 1970 followed with the Father and Son Swimming Book.
He designed a revolutionary new starting block for backstrokers so they would not have to push off a wet, slippery wall.
Though his new block had success in America, three years later the international federation failed to sanction it.
In his spare time he taught swimming and trained lifeguards and waterfront personnel.
He spent many summers as a swimming instructor and pool director at St. Louis Country Club.
Among the athletes Moriarty coached were five-time Olympic gold medalist Don Schollander, 1964 Olympic gold medalist Mike Austin, three-time 1964 Olympic Gold medalist Steve Clark, 1964 and 1968 Olympic medalist John Nelson and two-time 1960 Olympic gold medalist Jeff Farrell.
He coached seventh place 200-meter 1968 Olympic breast stroke competitor Philip Long.
He was named the NCAA's Swimming Coach of the Year in 1971.
A while after he retired in 1976, he and his wife, formerly Phyllis Brown, spent winters in Florida until her death in 1980.
Among the honors he received, Moriarty was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1980, and was inducted in the American Swimming Coaches Association's hall of fame in 2009.
Though he had moved there in 1993, he eventually returned to Connecticut, and lived in Mystic.
He lived to the impressive age of 98, and died in Mystic, Connecticut on August 18, 2012.
